Puff ‘n Stuff Catering

Absolutely wonderful catering for our wedding of about 80 people. Not just the best wedding food ever but great service. A lot of compliments from family and friends about both.
In planning my coordinator/​event manager Nicole was on top of everything. I am a details person and she was right there with me through the entire planning process. From planning, to day of set up, to service staff, everything was on point. I had full confidence in Puff’s ability to make the cocktail hour and reception go smoothly.
A lot of different packages available to work with your budget. Most of your wedding budget will be spend on your venues, photography, and your food so choose wisely!
We chose the butler passed appetizers and the plated served meals. If you can afford the jump in price from buffet to plate service you will thank yourself. Well worth the staff to serve your guests instead of lining them up at a buffet, if you can help it. Saved us space in our small venue, as well. Additionally, I recommend supplying your own alcohol (if your venue allows) but paying Puff to serve it at a bar. You will save a lot and the staff is more than happy to serve your unique selections all night.
When the event ended at 10, everything had to be out by midnight. The entire puff team pitched in and got well before the deadline. From start to finish, our event was well executed. So happy we went with Puff ‘n Stuff!

Another event at the Palmetto club where the exclusive caterer «Puff and Stuff» FAILED miserably. Second year in a row where the buffet line, as managed by the caterer, ran out of food after the first rotation was served. This left guests standing around for over 15 minutes with half filled plates and food getting cold. Some many things were wrong with this caterer, stale rolls (yes, old, stale, inedible breads), food line not staffed, plates ran out, people ate main meal off of small dishes. Meats and vegetables were cold and not kept warm. Steer clear of this caterer.

Puff n stuff catered my wedding, and did a great job. My husband and I had some unusual requests, but they gladly filled them and everything was delicious. We opted for cupcakes as our dessert (salted caramel, yum!) and a small cake for a cake cutting ceremony. Everything was wonderful, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the prices were much more reasonable than other options I saw in the area. Highly recommend!

Puff n Stuff is my go to caterer in Orlando. As a planner you always want to refer your clients to the best and PnS always make that mark! I brought them on as a Preferred Caterer when I was running a venue and I just couldnt go wrong. Their food selection and quality is amazing and they always go above and beyond! I can always count on my guests to have the best overall experience when they book with them.

Attended a wedding catered by Puff N Stuff, while the food was good the service was horrendous. The family style salad for our table of 8 was sufficient for half that. The next course arrived 30 minutes later. The servers were asking us what we had received. The bride’s Mom had to expedite the service. Inexcusable.

Don’t worry about scheduling a holiday party with this company. I called today and their sales rep Damian Keenan told me that the minimum amount for their party bookings this season is $ 3000! You have to be kidding me!

Let me start off by saying, I typically do not go out of my way to write reviews but Puff N Stuff has really offended me.
I have reached out to Puff N Stuff 3 times requesting services for catering my wedding and haven’t had any luck with them. The first time I called, I gave them my information inquiring catering services for my wedding over a year away. The person on the other end of the line promised someone would reach out to me. Strike one, no one called me. After no response, I called a 2^nd time. Strike two, the receptionist said they didn’t even have my information in the system so I patiently had to give it to her again. I was promised AGAIN that someone would reach out to me before the end of the day which DIDNT happen. After the third time I reached out to them wondering if they even wanted business at this point, they promised I would have a quote by Monday or Tuesday of this week. That was 2 – 3 days ago and I am still waiting on a quote.
This is not what I need on my wedding day and I would NOT work with a company who neglects their customers. :(

This catering company delivers food to my company on a very regular basis. the staff is very pleasant to deal with and very efficient. The food is reasonable and they always set up and take down with nice plasticware. Having had extensive experience eating their cuisine, I can say that for a catering company, their food is a step above most. Not only do they prepare nicely-​flavored quality food for the ‘regular’ eaters, but also for vegetarians, vegans and lactose-​free folks. The surprising thing is that the vegetarian and vegan recipes are unique and tasty as well. From vegan curries to veggie lasagnas to zucchini stuffed with lentils. it takes skill to pull off many different vegan dishes. Highly recommend.

Kelly and staff put on a seated dinner for 25 for a family reunion an hour outside of Orlando. They arrived earlier than requested and had everything set up. Excellent food preparation including bread, chicken with orzo and salad. The usual professional job I have seen P & S perform many times. Thoroughly recommended.

I had a little different experience with Puff ‘n’ Stuff than these other reviewers, so I wanted to write a review so others could benefit from my anomaly of an experience.
I asked to have three vegetarian meals for my bridal party; their server basically told them they could go to the buffet and just pick out vegetable items. Later, when everything was packed up, we found three vegetarian meals boxed up with the rest of the food. I know mistakes are often made, but this communication breakdown seemed very odd.
At the end of the event, the DJ announced that we would be exiting and everyone started to move outside the venue. The groomsmen, who unfortunately weren’t on their best behavior that night, were going to the bar and taking drinks that were clearly «to go.» A couple of them had three or four beers in their arms. I had expected that professional bartenders would not hand out alcohol at the end of the event to people who clearly planned to leave with it.
I think the issues with my wedding basically came down to me being too passive during the planning (I’m really introverted and didn’t want to seem bossy!). If you aren’t using a wedding planner, I would strongly suggest speaking to your vendors very clearly about what happens at your wedding, and which vendor is expected to do what (especially venue manager vs. catering manager). I would also suggest asking Puff ‘n’ Stuff to speak with the person who will be in charge on site the day of your wedding. During the planning period, I felt like my consultant understood my needs perfectly, but I ended up fielding a lot of questions at the event from the lead of the catering staff.
With these stipulations, I would very much recommend Puff ‘n’ Stuff. Their food really was excellent and my guests overall have said many positive things about it. My goal isn’t to bad-​mouth the company, because they obviously do very good work at their events based on all of these glowing reviews.

Puff and Stuff isn’t just for weddings folks…
When I recently had to plan an open house for my new employer, Emily and her team came to my rescue. With a strict budget, an estimated 50 guests and two CEOs with very different tastes, I knew this project was my initiation into the family. One wanted to go full out catering and one was cool with Publix chicken tenders. Given our company is one of the most prominent IT firms in the Orlando and Jacksonville markets, and our clients pay more than most for on-​time, reliable customer service, I knew the V.I.P. treatment was a given.
Early on, Emily and Sharol were helpful in helping me select menu items that were bite-​sized and helped go along with the feel of our «eat and mingle» style party. They didn’t even break a sweat when I called the day before and notified them that the «estimated 50 guests» was now a confirmed 72!
We ended up serving the assorted pinwheel sandwiches, the key west pinwheel sandwiches, asian vegetable spring rolls, fruit brochettes, mushroom marsala meatballs, mini mac and cheese, crab moray stuffed mushroom caps and for our CEO, the buffalo chicken tenders. We served the chef’s assortment of desserts and the cheesecake lollipops for dessert.
Everything was a huge hit, we ended up with leftovers, mostly of the chicken tenders and meatballs, but everything was a huge hit with our clients and the extra mile they took to make sure the presentation was in line with our standards was perfection.
A serviceman arrived at 2:15, before his scheduled arrival time and integrated the buffet with our logo tablecloths and had china plates, stainless steel forks and cocktail napkins for our guests. They set up a breakdown station in the kitchen and the next day another gentleman came first thing to take everything away.
I highly recommend Puff and Stuff for any event you are planning, be it a corporate event, a cocktail party or a wedding. They are professional, prompt and you can get a lot of really delicious food and outstanding customer service for a very reasonable amount of money.

Oh the joys of a white wedding, the happy couple, open bar, and the only dark part of the event (besides overly touchy relatives) is the dreaded wedding food, awful dishes from the 1950 put together with no care and put in a steam tray to sit until every vegetable is brown and every starch falling apart. So much to my surprise the wedding I attended in Orlando this past weekend has spectacular food!
Puff and Stuff sent an amazing crew of cooks, waiters, and bar tenders who were not only exceptional at their jobs, but also nice, fun, and friendly. The passed appetizers were good bbq’d shrimp in a mojo sauce, basil cornets with a roasted pepper crème Friache, and a caramelized onion crostini. For entrées we had two separate flights the first being platters of grilled vegetables and a tray of assorted goodies like bacon wrapped scallops, mini twice baked potatoes, and plantain chips with roasted pork. The second flight was stuffed peppers, risotto, and asparagus all very tasty, I don’t recall the second course as well as I should due to the open bar, but it was all very well prepared.
If you are looking for a catering company that is professional and makes amazing food look no further than Puff and Stuff.

I tried the food at the Otronicon VIP Event on Jan. 13, 2011. LOVED the pasta station! I was the one scooping up boat loads of tiny shrimp on top of my pasta, LOL! The Sweet ‘n Sour Meatballs were also very tasty. Unfortunately I waited too long to get some potstickers and chocolate covered strawberries. I saw them on other peoples plates and they looked sooo good! Oh well, hopefully I will go to another event where they are catering because I found them very professional and friendly.

One thing that I’m not too fond of the catered food you’ll find at big events like weddings and charity fundraisers because it is usually lacking quality and flavor, greasy and fattening and overdone. However, that is not the case for all caterers, especially when it comes to Puff ‘n Stuff… a catering company in the Central Florida area. They are triple threat when it comes to the catering business, because not only is their food AMAZING in quality and flavor, but their servers are only the best and their business as a whole has a great reputation all over Central Florida.
To be honest, I’ve never not liked anything that I’ve had from them, but I definitely have my favorites. Among the hors d’oeuvres menu I highly recommend the mini beef wellington, mini crab cakes, chicken breast brochette, and spinach artichoke dip. The cheese and fruit platters are also well done and only the best quality. For the main course items, the salmon is very good… as is the orzo pasta and veggies. And for dessert, the brownies and chocolate covered strawberries are so scrumptious.
Not only does Puff ‘n Stuff take care of the cooking and serving, they also set up, break down and clean up everything… and they do an awesome job from start to finish. Their prices are expensive, but you get what you pay for and I definitely recommend using them if you can afford to do so. They can do small or large events and everything in between, for any and every occasion you can think of.
LOVE IT!
